Class War -- The Calvin Coolidge Response

America no longer enjoys a peacetime economy.

I speak not of Iraq or of Afghanistan.

I speak of the class warfare economy officially imposed on the nation in Barack Obama’s Osawatomie speech.

I say “officially” because this speech is merely a logically outgrowth of Obama’s long-held redistributionist ideology, finally manifested in the “spontaneous” “Occupy Wall Street” movement—the phony rage aimed at “one percenters” who fail to “pay their fair share in taxes”—phony, because if it were real, it “Occupy Wall Street” would move uptown and become “Occupy General Electric.”

Such class warfare is much older than Obama or OSW or Osawatomie. It has been practiced worldwide—from Bolshevik Russia and Maoist China to Huey Long’s Louisiana to Evita Peron’s Argentina to Hugo Chavez’s Venezuela to the bankruptcy of contemporary Greece.

Thank you for posting that. Very inspiring,

Give me a candidate who carries a picture of Cal in his pocket.

That is Conservationism. Health Care Mandates are not.

Obama has no accomplishments others than running the US economy off a cliff so he will resort to the tried and true campaign tactics of socialists everywhere ...blame the rich for all economic ills and stir up the masses with class warfare.

Thank you for posting. Now I see why CC was a favorite of RWR’s.

This makes me proud to be a step-son of a Coolidge!
